Our pterodactyl knitted flying dinosaur toy in striking yellow yarn has bat-like wings and a crest on its head. The pterodactyl is not strictly a dinosaur but was in fact a type of flying reptile - part of the pterosaur family. As it lived in the same period as the dinosaurs, in the late Jurassic period, we have decided to add it to our knitted dinosaur toys family. Pterodactyls would have been approximately the same size as modern birds such as eagles and hawks.
if you are looking for unique gift ideas for kids, a knitted pterodactyl will fit the brief! Also available as a large dinosaur cuddly toy and a small baby rattle.

Robins have been associated with Christmas since Victorian times, when the tradition of sending Christmas cards started. The Royal Mail postmen who delivered the Xmas cards wore bright red uniforms and they earned the nickname 'Robin' or 'redbreast'. Artists illustrated cards with pictures of postboxes or postmen but over time, they started to draw robins instead of postmen. Since then, we have associated Xmas with robins.
We are therefore delighted to introduce our knitted robin Christmas tree decoration, part of our extensive range of knitted Xmas tree decorations. The robin’s body is a warm, earthy brown, while its breast is a traditional festive red, capturing the essence of this beloved winter bird and it has a sweet and friendly expression. Perfect for hanging on your tree or adding to a wreath, this knitted robin is a delightful way to celebrate the season and bring a bit of nature indoors.
